  • Title: [Tardive dyskinesia: an increased risk of neuroleptics in elderly women].
    Author: Jessurun AY, Stek ML.
    Journal: Tijdschr Gerontol Geriatr; 1995 Oct; 26(5):197-9. PubMed ID: 8750979.
    Abstract:
    Tardive dyskinesia is a side-effect of antipsychotic drugs. Elderly women with depression are at risk even on a low dosis. A case is presented in which a typical depression was treated with high dosis haloperidol resulting in orofacial dyskinesia and a less frequently seen grunting. Correct diagnosis, indication, dosis monitoring and regular evaluation of possible side-effects are the most important factors to prevent these serious invalidating conditions.
